NBA Draft 2014: EMBUUST! - Page 9 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Aaron Gordon through three games: 14.3/9.3/1.3/1.0/2.3 in ~30mpg. Cool cool. The weird part? He's 3-10 on free throws and 4-5 on 3pt shots. wat

I haven't gotten a chance to see him play yet. If he can actually *can* shoot and his FT stroke is just broke for some reason he's looking like a pretty fk elite prospect. his youtoobs are crazy

jabari's stats are incredible through 4 games, super efficient and 12/18 on 3s. i've watched 2 of them and there's no way you can't love the way he plays, moves the ball and is a willing passer but imposes himself like the best player on the court should with a versatile skillset. he is kind of slow for an nba 3, but that hasn't stopped 3s before him from becoming competent defensively. he honestly looks big enough to play 4 anyway

looking like a #1 pick to me, zee lucky mburke didn't take that bet

Its funny to watch Marcus Smart knowing that Bennett was the #1 pick and Mclemore was a lottery pick this year.

Just awful luck for Cleveland to get the #1 pick and Smart not come out.

although Cleveland might not have drafted him anyways considering they have Kyrie and had just drafted waiters.

Watched most of the KU game -- Wiggins didn't provide much to get excited about, seemed to disappear for long stretches of the game

He doesn't suck at all. He was real impressive last night. Struggled shooting the ball last year, but that has certainly changed. He's shooting the ball with a ton of confidence. Kid is also grounded and wise beyond his years. I could see him going into the league next year and making a difference somewhere.

With that said, lol memphis. Lol pastner

He sucks

to elaborate: doesn't shoot or pass particularly well, turns the ball over a lot and isn't an elite athlete. also has mediocre size. I'd like him fine at ~8. seems to have WIM

also given the state of the PG position in the NBA I think it's a pretty big fail to draft one based on need in the top ~6 or so of the lotto. so many PGs

This year's class is so sick, ~8 seems about right

Something like..

Parker
Randle
Embiid
Wiggins
Gordon
Exum
Smart/Selden/Harris

Jabari is a lock to go top 3. All you gotta do is fade college.
